Evangelical Caste System

Despite what you may be told, the Biblical Christian Church has a rich history of supporting rights for women and women in Christian ministry. Jocelyn Andersen touches on only a few such examples, drawing on material from her book, Woman this is War: Gender, Slavery and the Evangelical Caste System.

The hierarchy of complementarianism creates a caste system that unjustly takes away God-given honor, status, and rights for women. Jocelyn Andersen reviews this Gender-based Evangelical Caste System, drawing from her book, Woman this is War.

Jocelyn Andersen highlights only a few similarities between slavery in the US and complementarian theology which keeps women in bondage. She draws from material from her book, Woman this is War: Gender, Slavery and the Evangelical Caste System.

Jocelyn Andersen challenges the listener to reconsider some of the old arguments traditionally used to keep men and women enslaved in illegitimate bondage based on sex. Just as the Bible did not condone the sin of slavery based on skin color, it also does not condone a slavery-like caste system based on gender. Andersen takes a stand against a doctrine that threatens to annihilate the autonomy of over half of the evangelical Church.
